Where did you hear its going to add 20hp?

the fit kit isnt going to add horsepower, its going to make it possible for the SC to be installed with the auto tranny.

If you turbo your auto, you wouldnt loose boost between shifts, like you would in stick, right?

and...

I remember reading something on one of the forums here that, putting I/E/H will make an auto slower .... I forgot why.... can anyone clear this up?

i called trd, the guy was very uninformed. he said there is no eta, and i asked if there were any notes about it, no, and he doesnt know anything at all. supriesed he got his own name right, i felt like i was talking to my sales person. for real, im getting frustrated, as many others are. the s/c wait was justified, but what excuse do they have for a support bracket? maybe theyve incountered tranny probs? my only guess. also, for the people that know people a little deeper in trd, can you see what the hold up is? i dont mind waiting as long when i know whats going on, but it angers me to think they are being lazy. i just got my new no interest credit card for 4,000, and i want it before my no interest runs out!

it wouldnt be warrantied. all this thing is is a silly bracket right? i really can't stand the worthless waits. they are just going to do it when they get around to it. maybe they dont think the auto will be able to handle it? obviously were talking long term, but still. ive actually considered the fact maybe they dont think it is worth making for the demand, but for 50 dollars, come on. i dont know, all i know is i was fine waiting back in the winter, because regardless i wasnt going to buy it until april, but now its almost here, and just like last year, when the s/c was suppost to be out, and had to wait until fall, this better not be the case!

maybe every one that is seriously ready to buy the s/c when if the fit kit comes out, we should all call trd every day, and ask to speak to the supervisor and complain. if they get enough calls showing the demand, this could help move things along?

but if you get ZPI to do the fit kit i bet you anything that the S/C would lose the warrenty if you used it...

don't get me wrong, i would rather have the S/C as well, it along with other little things would put me exactly where I want to be.

but if it comes time for when im ready for f/i, and the s/c is not here, then im going stage 0.

hey everyone, this just in from trd...
this is new to me, i didnt know this, but youall might have,

the auto fit kit will be realesed sooner than later.
the wait isnt on the bracket, they have to develop a different reflash program for the auto, different from manual...

is it possible that this reflash is the same kind of programming for the auto tranny that the ESK would be giving us?!? HMMMM

If SO, TRD is definetely doing this the right way.
